test results

My doctor called me today with the news of my blood work. My thyriod is good, no change in meds. My cholesterol has come down, still over 200 but an almost 10% decrease in 3 months so no meds there, if I can keep it up. The bad news is I am now offically a non insulan dependent diabetic. I start on meds tomorrow and start finger sticking twice a day next week when I get my meter. It will be next week because of insurance. It will be approved, just takes a couple days.

Brook is better, still hurts though.

There was a tragic death last night. A girl in 5th grade that rides Brook's bus was killed by a car last night. I do not know all the details yet.

  3. So sorry about the little 5th grader. Glad to see your test results were good. I've been on Type II meds for almost 5 years, peice of cake, Once you figure out how your blood sugar reacts to different activities, you really don't need to test it that often. Sometimes I go a week or two. Good luck, rich
